(from my admittedly flawed understanding) Born from a stone which received the energy of heaven and earth/ Yin and yang, as well as the sun and moon, the stone monkey seeks out immortals to learn how to become that himself, and does so using taoism, along with other magic powers such as transforming into anything he wants and flying on a cloud. after this, he has some more adventures, one of which results in him erasing his and the other monkey's names from the book of the dead. at some point he takes on the self proclaimed title of "Great Sage Equal to Heaven".
